How long does it take lutera to work before unprotected sex is ok? lutera the birth control medicine
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You : You should use a back-up method of birth control (such as a condom) for the first 7 days you are on the pill. After that, as long as you take the pill every day at the same time every day, you will have a less than 2% chance of becoming pregnant while on the pill. I attached a useful web page with information about what to do if you miss a pill below. Good luck!
